COECIS Sites – Cornell Engineering, Cornell Tech, and Cornell Bowers Computing & Information Science

Cornell Engineering, Cornell Tech, and Cornell Bowers Computing and Information Science offer its faculty, student researchers and student groups CampusPress web hosting. We offer mobile friendly WordPress templates to build a site and maintain it.

Getting started

Log in with your NetID.
Important: Only netids for active Cornell community members will be allowed to edit websites. Once you leave Cornell (e.g. graduate as alumni) your access will be changed to read-only.
After you begin a new site, choose a theme (search for “Cornell Recommended, Cornell Tested”).
Important: Cornell Engineering sites must use the “Cornell Branded Theme 2021” theme under the category “Cornell Engineering.”

These WordPress sites are for users with limited knowledge of the web, looking for a simpler way to publish content. The sites are hosted by CampusPress and offer a limited number of plugins.

This is a free hosting option provided by the college units. If you are looking to set up a faculty research site we can help get you started.

If these WordPress sites are too limited, we have further hosting options available.

Cornell requires all new sites to have the required branding on every site with cornell.edu in the URL (e.g., lab.engineering.cornell.edu). You can easily add the required branding to the footer widgets at that time. Note: the “Cornell Branded Theme 2021” theme has the required branding colors built in.
